The magic of Bionic Reader for Dyslexia, ADHD, & Autism

Bionic Reading has changed the way I consume digital content

I’m a writer and a reader—but I’m also dyslexic. The words on the page dance around and letters spin in circles. I’ve spent the majority of my life masking this unknowingly, by memorizing word patterns. The thought of standardized tests, timed tests, and multiple choice tests, used to send me into a panic.

Reading dense text has changed entirely for me after discovering Bionic Reading®. If you are neurodivergent read this:

Via the For the Win (teehee go Birds!)

Now, read the same text with Bionic Reading:

According to Bionic-Reading.com, “Bionic Reading® revises texts so that the most concise parts of words are highlighted. This guides the eye over the text and the brain remembers previously learned words more quickly.”

What.

Reading this second blurb feels like I wiped the fog off of my brain window, and can now see words. It has brought joy back into my life when it comes to reading books.

Part of my struggle with reading dense text is remembering what I have just read, and not rereading lines or skipping lines of text. This has changed everything for me.

I can only speak to my own undiagnosed (officially, but bruh, it’s obvious) dyslexia, but Bionic Reading assists with all flavors of neurodivergence when it comes to reading. It’s available for Kindle too!

This is not sponsored, but damn I’d love for Bionic Reader to sponsor me.
